The Beatles Replaced Their “Lousy Drummer” With Ringo Starr

A seemingly little choice would have far-reaching consequences, creating a wave unlike any other in music history. What might have happened to The Beatles' career if the decision had been reversed is anyone's guess. Would their status as the most beloved band of all time have remained unchanged? Would it be totally different if they played music together? Obviously, we can only speculate on the answers to all of these issues. However, Ringo Starr would not be known to the public if Pete Best, the original Beatles drummer, had never been fired.
